So what is better for a starter - Mini-Stories or Guided Courses ? *
Or does it really matter? I understand, correct me if wrong, Mini-Stories are provided by LingQ, but Guided Courses look like they partly from outside brought into LingQ. Although there is one called LingQ 101 - Getting Started.
*(I mean Guided Courses from the LingQ site, not external)
You should start with Mini stories as they introduce different grammar concepts gradually as you move along. You can import content from external sources as long as you study them privately. .
Then move on to a few guided courses based on different language proficiency levels such as A2, B1, B2 etc. Afterwards try reading stuff that personally interests you.
Steve Kaufmann always starts with Mini Stories.
That’s enough for me to know. Thanks.
